Easily remember all the places I've been, eh? Sounds familiar. Is it like Google Latitude, which I used to easily remember all the places I had been until it was retired in 2013?

Not quite REPL (not sure C# is a great fit for REPL) but I've found LINQPad very useful for trying out code snippets locally. https://www.linqpad.net

Interesting. Scientific American used a photo of mine from Flickr[1] that is not licensed for commercial use[2] for one of their articles[3]. I'd be happy to grant them a license to use the image if they had of asked, so it seemed like a waste time to follow up on, just to demand that they do nothing and have a license. Nonetheless they are technically in violation.

It does seem a little have-your-cake-and-eat-it that they would do this on the one hand, and publish a blog article encouraging people in my situation to go after violators with a form letter. On the other hand, the article does note:
